Tanner vs. Randy; Trevor vs. Blache, and now Portis vs...

Ever since Portis arrived in D.C., he's been putting both feet in his mouth; he criticized Gibbs' playcalling in 2004, he criticized the line in 2008, he openly criticized Zorn last year, he criticized his line again this year, and so on. He's a damn fine running back and I would not go so far as to say he's become a problem, but he is getting annoying.

Sometimes, I wonder how things would be different had we drafted Adrian Peterson instead of Landry.

He was right to criticize JG's playcalling. Seriously, he does go a bit overboard sometimes.

All he's got to do is to complement John Riggins a little then move on. He keeps talking and talking.

But listen Riggins is a bit off and comes off as a grumpy old man alot. He doesn't give CP any credit at all. There both crazy.

Hey Lotus,
How did the party go?? Any inside scoop?

I knew that was coming...yeah, he donated $200,000 to the Lotus Foundation. Sadly, it was Monopoly cash. :)

I don't see anything wrong with what Portis said. I actually think he handled it pretty well. He never disrespected Riggo at all and even recognized how great Riggo was.

Portis knows he's insulting his line. He did it last year. It's just how he feels. And if anyone thinks this line is the Hogs, they are out of their mind, so to that point, he is right. He still will run for 1500+ yds behind them, and we all will deal with his diva type comments.

Who doesn't insult our O-line? Campbell and Zorn have both said comments about the O-line being an issue.

Every person on this site thinks the O-line is an issue

I don't see anything wrong with what Portis said. I actually think he handled it pretty well. He never disrespected Riggo at all and even recognized how great Riggo was.

I'm with you on this, I see nothing wrong with what he said.

Move along, nothing to see here....

If Portis will just keep his ramblings to off-field stuff and not throw his coaches and teammates under the bus he can say whatever he wants. If he continues to produce solid numbers and comes up with a SB or two here, he'll be on the same level with Riggo in DC and have a strong case for the HoF.
Well put . Maybe Portis should keep a 44 Jersey in his locker , and if/when he becomes DC's all time leading rusher , put the jersey on post game and give an interview . After the season , he should take Riggo out for some beers , get him drunk and give OL 44 a Mohawk ?

Every so often these two exchange barbs. Nothing new.

Freud would say it's all very Oedipal: the young guard replaces the old guard and conflict erupts.

"I've got two 60-year old strippers," he joked, and then walked off with a laugh.


priceless.

Record's are meant to be broken. Don't cry shake the guys hand & say well done then whisper in his ear your record won't last for long.
